Job description

Are you a structural engineer with at least seven years of experience and a track record of delivering technically complex data centre projects?

As Senior Structural Engineer at Black & White Engineering in Manila, you will lead structural design across new build and refurbishment projects, take ownership of quality and coordination across disciplines, and play an active role in developing the engineers around you.

This is a role for a technically strong engineer who is ready to take on greater responsibility, work with autonomy and contribute to a high-performing multidisciplinary team.

What’s in it for you?

Design ownership on complex projects

You will lead structural design from concept through to construction on data centre projects, taking responsibility for the quality and accuracy of your own work and that of others. From setting deadlines and allocating tasks to authoring technical reports and ensuring designs comply with relevant standards, your judgement will shape how projects are delivered.

Specialism in a high-demand sector

Black & White Engineering focuses exclusively on data centre and critical infrastructure engineering. You will build deep experience in a sector where structural precision is fundamental to how these facilities are designed and operated, developing a specialist profile that carries significant weight in the market.

You will liaise closely with MEP, civil and other engineering disciplines to produce coordinated, practical designs that work across the full project. It is a role that develops your understanding of how structural decisions interact with the wider design process and how collaboration drives better outcomes for clients.

Develop the engineers around you

You will provide guidance, training and directional feedback to more junior engineers, helping to build the capability of the team around you. It is an opportunity to develop your own leadership skills and broaden your impact beyond your individual project contributions.

A global team, growing fast

Based in Manila, you will be part of a One Global Team of more than 1,100 professionals across 20 locations. Black & White Engineering continues to grow, and the structural engineering function is growing with it. Strong performance here opens up genuine opportunities for progression as the business expands.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum seven years of technical experience in the design and analysis of building structures, from concept through to construction, with strong exposure to data centre projects.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, Tekla and Robot Structural Analysis.
• Good working knowledge of Eurocodes and the ability to ensure designs meet the required standards and regulations.
• Proven ability to manage your own workload, coordinate activities across a team and meet agreed deadlines.
• Good communication and presentation skills, with the ability to represent the business internally and externally with confidence.

In addition, you will be joining a community that focuses on learning and development through regular knowledge sharing sessions, investment in accredited professional courses or educational programmes. You can set the pace for your professional development, and whatever path you choose, you will receive relevant support.
